It's nice to see Primal Fear's "16.6" in so many's top 5. It's in mine too - and for good reason! This album SLAYS!!!

I'd say it's my second fave from Primal Fear.

Really? I guess maybe it will grow on me. I LOVE Hammerfall, but was greatly disappointed in their new one. It won't even crack my top 20 this year.

i think the Pestilence album is solid. it's in my top 20, definitely. the new Asphyx album is a must for old school death metal fans. top notch. even Ult would like it, i suspect.

I also got that new Samael album. Looking forward to hearing it. I've not opened it yet, but I suspect it will at least be in my top 10 for the year.

Its a good album, i think their best since CEREMONY OF OPPOSITES(1994). They went back to their roots and thats a good thing because they were to modern and boring sounding in my opinion for 15 years.

Metallic Blaze · Subject: Re: TOP 5 or 6: 2009 Mon Sep 28, 2009 11:40 pm

Oh I liked their more recent output too. But I also welcome a return to form from them. They are quite versatile, and I like that in a band.

That's how the new Ross the Boss was too.

Had a 2008 Euro release, but wasn't released here in the US until Jan of '09.
